October 29 Republic Day of Türkiye marks the creation of the Turkish Republic in 1923.
Let’s take a look at the history: After Türkiye’s victory in the War of Independence (1919-1923), the Turkish parliament proclaimed the new Turkish state as a republic. A new constitution, which the parliament adopted on October 29, 1923, replaced the constitution of the Ottoman Empire. The leader in the Turkish War of Independence, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, became the country’s first president on the same day. According to Atatürk, Republic Day is Türkiye’s most important holiday.
